In honor of National STEM/STEAM Day, which is celebrated annually on November 8th to promote and celebrate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEM/STEAM), we are highlighting BSC’s Caseylee Bastien for his efforts leading a weekly Eco STEAM club session throughout the summer and after school at the Everett Madeline English Middle School.
In 2022, members of the Madeline English STEM Club and supporting volunteers won the MACC 2022 Service Award!
As part of this program, Caseylee, along with BSC ecologist Evan Fox and BSC intern Lucius Yu-Kisselbach, led a class of 30 in doing a wetland restoration and habitat building diverting a trail to protect the Malden River.
The day was established in 2015 by the Congressional Caucus on STEM Education to raise awareness of the importance of STEM education and encourage students to pursue STEM careers.
